Pablo Andres Escobar is joining the Kansas City Wizards.
No, he's not related to the deceased drug lord.
While the 22-year-old defender is from Colombia, where he
played for Deportivo Cali, he has nothing to do with Pablo Emilio
Escobar, who was shot to death in 1993.
He's also not related to Andres Escobar, the Colombian
defender who scored an own-goal against the United States at the
1994 World Cup, then was shot a few weeks later in apparent
retaliation.
Kansas City also signed 28-year-old midfielder Stephane
Auvray, a Guadeloupe native who played for Caen and was recently
with Vannes and Nimes.
